This is a good french restaurant by global standards. Top quality food and attentive staff. I had the beef fillet with mushrooms. It was well crafted and unpretentious. I hope to eat there again

lovely night out in OuagaYou are proposed the best table for what you are after, as soon as you walk in.Wine is a starter to be drank , the traditional “Kir Cassis “ you can ask for ice if needed or upgrade to the Champagne version of it “Kir Royal”The starter was fabulous “Foie Gras Poêlé “ felt like I was in Montmartre! Remember the “ foie gras” as to be eaten as soon as served otherwise the product will just melt away in your plate.A lovely Jazzy music in the background very nice sweet and pleasant.Waiting staff is exceptionally pleasant and discreet perfect for a romantic date night out.For the “Plat Principal” the Chef kindly proposed a succulent meat “Tournedos Forestier “accompanied with a rich creamy savory sauce made of cream and wild forest mushrooms, side dishes are steamed vegetables and white rice .Pretty sure you can arrange carbs such as pastas or potatoes if you feel like.Dessert is my traditional colonel, another delicacy I enjoy worldwide.Quite a rich diner, price is totally adapted to the venue and the service.Totally recommended, to your own pleasure, please enjoy a bit of France out in Africa !Best regards.Caroline.

Elegant setting with attentive staff. Food quality depends on the dish. Beef medallions were great. Shrimp pasta was outrageously overcooked.
